Few things to consider:

*All chains whether they are Sterling Silver, Gold- filled or plated, please keep away from water sources. If they do come in contact wipe them down with a soft cloth.

*Avoid direct contact with perfumes, lotions or other chemicals.

* Should be stored in a closed environment.

What the World Needs Now… Is Mana. Sweet Mana.

Mana is a very special word in Hawaiian culture. I did not know this word until I moved here to Lahaina and started experiencing this positive, spiritual energy especially when in the ocean, looking for shells. It drew me in, and I have never felt the same since. It has given me something special… a feeling I have not felt before. It has healed me in a way I so needed.

What Is Mana?

Mana is the life force, spiritual power, and energy that permeates everything in Hawaiian culture. It's not just a concept; it's a tangible force that is felt and respected, influencing daily life, social structures, and our relationship with the natural world. It is inherent in all things people, objects, places, and even words. Understanding mana is key to appreciating the depth and richness of Hawaiian traditions.

Sources of Mana

Mana flows from numerous sources, deeply intertwined with Hawaiian beliefs and worldview.

Ancestral Lineage (Kūpuna) Your ancestors are a primary source of mana. The qualities, skills, and experiences of your kūpuna (ancestors) are believed to be passed down, influencing your own mana. Respect for elders is particularly important because they are seen as repositories of knowledge and mana. Humility, generosity, and kindness are valued because they attract mana, while arrogance, greed, and negativity are discouraged because they diminish it.

The Natural World The land (ʻāina), the ocean (kai), the mountains (mauna), and all living things are imbued with mana. In Hawaiian culture, respect for the natural world is paramount because everything is seen as possessing mana. Practice sustainability reduce your consumption, recycle, and compost. Participate in community cleanups and restoration projects. When visiting natural sites such as beaches, forests, and mountains, be mindful of your impact. Leave no trace and respect the environment.

Skills and Talents (Noʻeau) Excellence in any craft or skill (noʻeau) is also seen as a manifestation of mana. Whether it's surfing, farming, weaving, or healing or, in my case, creating beautiful jewelry from shells and the ocean mana is present. I feel mana when I am creating, and I hope you feel it when you wear my jewelry.

Words and Chants (ʻŌlelo and Oli) Words have power. Spoken words, especially chants (oli) and prayers, are considered conduits for mana. Healers (kahuna lāʻau lapaʻau) use herbs, massage, and prayer to restore balance and harmony, both physically and spiritually. The mana of the plants, the healer's own mana, and the patient's willingness to heal all contribute to the effectiveness of the treatment.

Live Your Mana

Your mana sets the tone before your words do. Have the kind of mana that, no matter where you go, you always add value to the spaces and lives around you.

Trust the vibes you get mana does not lie. If someone replenishes your mana after spending time with them, give them more of your time. Be the mana you want to share with the world.

Simple.
